Whether building a brand new store or redesigning an old one, convenience store retailers -- both chains and single-store owners alike -- continue to raise the bar when it comes to innovation in design and presentation, as seen with the winners of the 4th Annual Convenience Store News Store Design Contest.
From incorporating a stone waterfall into the facade of a building to creating a ceiling out of bamboo, enforcing the paradise theme of the store, this year's winning retailers and honorable mentions outshined the competition for design originality and execution.
This year is special for Convenience Store News, as it marks the 40th year of publication, making it the longest continuously published news source for the convenience store industry.
